Why Choose Mild Cigars

Mild cigars are recommended for beginners because more full-flavored cigars often taste too strong (or just plain bad) to new smokers. A mild cigar is typically less expensive, so you do not have to worry about ruining an expensive cigar by incorrectly lighting it or cutting too much of the end off.

In terms of flavor, if you are new to cigar smoking, you would probably also agree that mild cigars are the best thing to start out with.
